Tekken X Street Fighter is Currently 'Pending', Development is at 30%

The Tekken x Street Fighter project is still alive, somewhere in the depths of Bandai Namco Entertainment's studio offices. While the current priorities for the Tekken team are focusing on the ongoing support for Tekken 7, the vision for the 3D cross-over between the two franchises is still in a comatose state; the game has not been seen at all since it's announcement back at San Diego Comic-Con of 2010. We've gotten piecemeal bits of info about it before but the latest for TxSF comes from Harada during the live stream for Kuro Kuro's year-end Tekken drinking party. In his words, Tekken x Street Fighter is still 'Pending', which is pretty much another way of saying that the title is 'on hold' in terms of priority. The development of Tekken x Street Fighter currently sits at the 30% mark so there is still a long way to go. While reading and answering the chat, Harada also briefly spoke about some other topics. For those asking about a third Season Pass for Tekken 7, he answered that it could happen, depending on the sales of the previous Season Passes. On the potential of a Switch release of Tekken 7, that is dependent on the demand from fans so let them know if you're interested in seeing that happen. If you want to check out the full sit-down and chat session with Harada from the party, you can find the archive over on Kuro Kuro's Twitch channel.

Soul Calibur 6 - DLC Character 2B Gameplay Stream Archive

Edit: Wait, never mind. The video finished processing and the entire thing is now archived properly. Go to the 16 and 40 minute mark in the VOD to see the new 2B gameplay.

YouTube live is weird, the Dengeki PlayStation stream finished but it looks like it only archived the last two hours. It's still good to watch though since most of the notable 2B gameplay bits are still there in the beginning of the archive. The other stuff cut out were just minor introductions and info like the Nier creation parts which I have images of down below for anyone that missed them. For a quick character impression, she seems kind of similar to Azwel mixed with some Noctis. All the perverts out there will glad happy to know she can blow her own skirt off with her second Critical Edge that's available at low health so you know she's worth the Season Pass money. Despite looking pretty far along in the gameplay, Okubo mentioned that they're still fine-tuning the character so please wait a little longer for the official announcement of 2B's release date for Soul Calibur 6.

Popular Twitch Streamer Forsen Reaches Yellow Ranks Online in First Week of Playing Tekken 7

Tekken 7 has seen a recent surge of popularity within the past week after popular Twitch streamers started picking up and streaming the game. Forsen, Imaqtpie, Sodapoppin, Dyrus and Moonmoon were among the recent greenhorns dipping into the online Ranked Mode while probably showing off Tekken 7 to a much wider audience. Forsen in particular was probably the most note-worthy in that group for sticking to the game and even climbing a fairly decent way in the ranks. Sure, Tekken 7 Season 2 did make ranking up much more easier and faster but, climbing all the way to Juggernaut within a week of picking up the game is a lot more than other people who've been playing for months and stuck in greens could possibly say. If anything, Forsen's playthrough makes an interesting watch of someone completely brand new get into playing Tekken. I'm sure at the moment he's still periodically streaming the game but you can check out his YouTube page if you want to see how he 4444'd his way online with Katarina:
